Not only is there a nice variety of sizes and shapes of models, there is quite a range of age and experience amongst the designers. I look forward to a most interesting season.

I don’t know your personal style, but if there’s space, you might consider a pair of capris, shorts or a skort. We had 80 degree temperatures in Fairbanks in June on one of our trips! Alaska is an amazing place - enjoy!

Would You Book It Again?: In a heartbeat!

Photos or Photo Links:

Marilyn, you have been a fantastic source of information! We sailed after you disembarked; I would have enjoyed meeting you and extending my appreciation in person. We found the Edge to be extraordinary, and look forward to sailing aboard her again. Thank you for sharing!

Vtcruising, you are a star! A bright, shining star! Thank you for sharing so much great information (and delightful photos). We board on Sunday and I am more than eager. Hope our cabin crawl goes well, too. Enjoy!

Should be quite interesting. Having everyday options in Luminae, rather than requesting in advance, sounds better.

The rocker being removed... what does that leave for seating? Anything reasonably comfortable?

While a shower curtain may solve the problem, I wonder how aesthetically pleasing it will be.

Regardless of any changes, I fully intend to enjoy a wonderful cruise!

 Vtcruising, you are amazing! Thank you for all of the terrific photos!

This thread is absolutely amazing! Looking forward to Cabin 11211. I haven’t noticed mention of it or any of its neighbors, though I admit I may have missed some of the posts. We haven’t been away from far aft in a while, so am eager and curious about this. (Always eager for a cruise!😊)

Thank you for your response. If I don’t need waterproof hikers, great! We are accustomed to Michigan winters, so cooler weather isn’t problematic.

Already thinking about our Iceland cruise in June. Might someone share advice about appropriate clothing, please? Are waterproof hiking boots indicated? Rain pants? Thank you, and safe travels for all!

Also, are you dealing with changes in time zones? And for some of us just the excitement of being on holiday can disturb our sleep patterns (not to mention out of the ordinary food and drink😉).

How old is the young lady?

Perhaps a small tote in lieu of a basket. Coloring book and colored pencils, gum, sunscreen, lip balm, flip flops, a journal, perhaps? Her age and interests would certainly be factors in your choices, as would your destination.

Their brochure states that gratuities are NOT expected.

Our only experience is with Uniworld. We have had the good fortune to experience two wonderful cruises with them, the first from Amsterdam to Budapest, and last year one from Paris to Normandy (and almost back to Paris - flooding interfered).

Both trips were wonderful - the food was very good, the staff was most helpful, our fellow passengers were interesting and provided excellent company.

This summer we will again be traveling with Uniworld - Basel to Amsterdam. Obviously we have been very pleased with our experiences. The staff has proved to be exceptional at handling the inevitable "issues" that occur when traveling at Mother Nature's mercy.

Still wear them on occasion with dresses or skirts. When it is freezing out, bare legs just seem "wrong," and colored tights don't "work" with everything. However, if you can tolerate the chill, I have no problem with your bare legs. Be comfortable!

I have had good luck with, and have been complimented on, Eddie Bauer ballet-flat type shoes. They are supportive enough, and look nice with almost any length pant or skirt.

Thank you!

The deck plans show cabins 8105 and 8107 to be connecting.

Does anyone recall where the connecting door is located?

Thank you.

Just back from the Solstice - we received the chocolate covered cookies only on the two formal nights. Had we not cruised before, I doubt I would have ever "missed" the chocolates.

How "old" can one be and pull off the sheer blouse over black bra look? I must be more dowdy than I realized!
